Chai Tea

Strictly speaking, “chai” is simply the word for tea across several cultures in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. What is referred to as “chai” generally in the western world is more accurately called “masala chai,” or spiced tea. There is no fixed recipe for masala chai, but usually the tea base is a black tea, like Assam, with a mixture of spices that can include cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, star anise, peppercorn, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla or saffron. Milk and sugar is almost always added to help bring out the flavor of the spices.

Culinary Teas Cochin Masala Chai

8.8/10 — 1 review

Dan's review:"This is an interesting Masala Chai that sets itself apart from the pack. In the cup, the tea takes on a pseudo chocolaty flavor - creamier and more cocoa-like than other Masala Chai blends - and big on spice, but in less of a "spicy" way than you might expect."Read review »

8.5/10

Vanessa's review:"This is a creative and distinct blend with much to offer. While the usual cast of characters provide the underlying spiciness that is expected of any self-respecting chai, the coconut and lemongrass add layer and depth to this tea.

Up N’ Atom Chai Organic Black

8.7/10 — 8 reviews

Raven's review:"Like Valentine’s candies, zesty cinnamon highlights the aroma and flavour from a rich blend of spiciness; low on tea but full of spicy pizzazz down to the gingery pepper tickling one’s throat."Read review »

Laura's review:"If you want to make the most delicious cup of chai EVER, then instead of adding just milk to the fill up the final 1/3 of your cup, use 75% milk and 25% French Vanilla Creamer (fat free of course). It is OMG good! "Read review »

Vanessa's review:"I did enjoy the chai flavors of this tea very much, but the one thing which disappointed me was that the pineapple, which was the hallmark of this tea, was all but absent in the flavor of the brewed tea."Read review »

The Persimmon Tree Rooibos Vanilla Chai

7.8/10 — 3 reviews

Daniel's review:"While the orange peels are virtually nonexistent in the chai's liquor, the vanilla does boast a relative level of prominence, and there is no "false advertisement" as unfortunately so in many other teas of a similar kind. "Read review »

7.8/10

Alexa's review:"This rooibos chai is a perfect balance of spices, including ginger and cardamom. It's everything you'd expect in a high quality, flavorful cup of chai."Read review »

Firepot Chai Chocolate Chai

7.8/10 — 2 reviews

Daniel's review:"On its own, Firepot Chai's chocolate chai encapsulate warmth and repose. The immediate note of each sip stems from the tea's cocoa nibs, and while there's nothing sweet about them, they will provide an interesting and detectable "chocolatey-ness.""Read review »

8.0/10

Samantha's review:"This is a really great chai if you're looking for a caffiene alternative that doesn't lack in flavor. Add milk to a mason jar, shake it vigorously and microwave for 30 seconds, you'll have frothy milk to enhance the flavor.

Big Tea House Cool Coconut Chai

Jamie's review:"A pleasant and naturally non caffeinated chai blend but coconut lovers should be aware that coconut doesn't make a very bold appearance in this blend."Read review »

6.5/10

Vanessa's review:"One thing I really appreciated about this blend was the addition of the red peppercorns, which really provide an extra level of spiciness that is missing from many chai blends. The pepper and coconut flavors worked really well together, creating a tea that is simultaneously sweet and spicy. "Read review »

Teavana White Ayurvedic Chai Tea

7.6/10 — 3 reviews

Samantha's review:"The first taste is a bit of cinnamon, the subsequent tastes can be conjoined with a slight sweetness from the pineapple and coconut."Read review »

7/10

Geoff's review:"It was remarkably gentle for a masala chai, as one would expect a white tea to be. Along with the hot-sweet-spice three-way punch, citrus raised a hand in "hello"; the lemongrass contribution."Read review »

Tea Zone Vanilla Chai

7.5/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"I don't think Tea Zone's Vanilla Chai has any stand-out qualities that would put this tea above most other chai teas out there, but this tea will certainly please those who prefer subtle spice levels."Read review »

Vanessa's review:"Plenty of authentic chai flavor plus a little something special as a result of the various other ingredients included in this blend. This is a great blend of chai spices and sweet fruit flavors "Read review »

Jamie's review:"It's the spices that make it chai like and the caramel creaminess that make it like a dessert blend. It's the clever combination of the two that make this a great blend well worth trying! "Read review »

Zhi Tea Cacao Chai

7.3/10 — 5 reviews

Laura's review:"This has a healthy bite of spice--fairly peppery and lots of cardamom for a sweet blend. The chocolatey cacao flavor is most noticeable when you first start drinking it and kinda gets lost in the pepper and spice after a few sips."Read review »

6.5/10

Erika's review:" This blend has all the flavors one associates with a good chai, however you need to enjoy chocolate to enjoy this tea. "Read review »

7/10

Vanessa's review:"The brewed tea is everything the enticing aroma promises. The ginger, cinnamon and cardamom are well-balanced, although the cardamom seems to come through just a bit more than the other spices. The flavor of the cacao is a much-welcomed addition to the blend, and provides a natural sweetness to round off the spiciness."Read review »

Joe's review:"The resulting brew is thick and rich with a wonderful texture and the appearance of coffee. Unfortunately, I did not experience much of a chocolate flavor and would even describe the taste as somewhat muddy or perhaps slightly burnt."Read review »

7.3/10 — 2 reviews

Laura's review:"With the milk, my cup is a nice creamy chai with a medium amount of spice. While the coconut is not discernible as a flavor, I think it does add an extra sweetness to the cup making it less necessary to use a lot of sugar."Read review »

Shelly's review:"A mellow spice tea with a hint of sweetness... nicely blended but not as spicy as I would have liked, and the coconut flavor was all but impossible to detect."Read review »

Ducky Life Tea David's Classical Chai

7.2/10 — 2 reviews

Lynn's review:"The flavor was transformed instantly into a smooth, well balanced blend, highlighting the tea itself, as well as the spices. It was very flavorful, and perhaps the most "tea tasting" of any chai I've tested to date. Though it wasn't as intense as some, I really liked the tea being more than a delivery platform for a spice wallop. "Read review »

7/10

Joe's review:"I am not a big fan of cinnamon and was glad to find while this is the predominant smell it is not an overpowering taste. Their website describes the blend as well balanced and I would concur. The flavor is smooth and creamy and not one flavor prevails."Read review »

8.5/10

Jamie's review:" I would have liked to detect a bit more of the cardamom, but overall, this was a very enjoyable tea. I would enjoy it with dessert, especially a spicy winter dessert like gingerbread or pumpkin pie, or with a nice Indian style meal."Read review »

Zhena's Gypsy Tea Coconut Chai

7.1/10 — 8 reviews

Dan's review:"Chai teas and coconut flavors are exoticism for the masses -- neither are rare, and you can find them in any corner of Vanilla America. But they both still evoke pleasurable escapes to faraway places. When combined here, the drinker is transported to the tropics of their mind. A satisfying experience, to say the least."Read review »

Laura's review:"I did enjoy this cup of tea. I liked the nice mild spice of the chai. However, I did not find the coconut so I probably wouldn't buy this if I were looking for a coconut chai."Read review »

5.5/10

Jamie's review:"Nice, toasty and very natural coconut flavor with a neat interplay taking place between the many other spices, particularly the pepper, in this chai blend. "Read review »

Two Leaves and a Bud Mountain High Chai

7.1/10 — 2 reviews

Samantha's review:"The overarching theme of this tea would be the orange flavor as it ends with just a hint of cinnamon. I would suggest this tea for the chai beginner, not too bland, not too spicy, a happy medium for those new to chai."Read review »

7/10 — 4 reviews

Laura's review:"This brews up to be a reasonably spicy chai, which happens to be how I like my chai. The peppercorns do present themselves in the flavor, but do not dominate. I would say that if a flavor dominates this blend more than any other it is probably the ginger, which is good, and makes my tongue tingle a little bit when drinking it."Read review »

Kari's review:"Finally, a Chai that stands up, I felt a tingle on my tongue. Now I could taste the vanilla and all the spices really did compliment each other."Read review »

Culinary Teas White Chocolate Spiced Chai

Laura's review:"Like many of Culinary Teas blends, this is a wonderfully fragrant cup and it does, in fact, give off an aroma that reminds of caramel as promised in the description though I don't see caramel listed an ingredient or flavor anywhere."Read review »

7.3/10

Jamie's review:"There's something fun about a tea blend that is chock full of peels, spices, and leaves - just looking at the happy jumble of fragrant, chunky ingredients in this blend appeals to a barely covered kid-ness that loves birthday party goody-bags and Halloween."Read review »

7.0/10

Lynn's review:"As much as I like Autumn Morning, I'm less impressed with Afternoon, but that's often my experience with decaffeinated teas. It affects the flavor, no matter how well it's done. This isn't a bad chai; there's a lot to be said for the generous helping of natural spices that provides the majority of this tea's character. But the tea base left me wanting. "Read review »

Laura's review:"The intensity of the spice mix is nice when consumed without milk, but when the splash of milk is added I found that it largely overwhelmed much of the kick of the spices."Read review »

Dan's review:"Not what I have come to expect from a Masala Chai - but the ultimate results are quite pleasant nonetheless, and a refreshing change from the typical overpowering spices that usually accompany such blends."Read review »

KTeas South Indian Chai

6/10 — 3 reviews

Erika's review:"The scent remained heavy on the cinnamon, but the first sip was surprisingly strong with black tea, with the spices filling in neatly behind."Read review »

6/10

Laura's review:" All I can really taste with the milk added to the cup is the cinnamon and cardamom. Any contribution from the cloves, ginger and pepper are completely AWOL. "Read review »

5/10

Lynn's review:"I then added about two teaspoons of rock sugar and a splash of half and half. The result was a sweet, mellow drink with mild spiciness that was well blended enough that I couldn't really distinguish one spice from another, except that there was still no peppery taste or sensation, and no real flavor of the tea. The flavors were well balanced otherwise, however. It was tasty and pleasant, but I can't say I was really wowed. "Read review »

Yogic Chai Mint Masala Chai

5.8/10 — 2 reviews

Dan's review:"When brewed properly, this is a sublime and unique tea that's suitable for sipping any time of day, and makes a particularly good nightcap."Read review »

7.5/10

Dan's review:"Overall, a rather un-impressive tea - dried or brewed. A shame, as top-quality ingredients would probably make every bit of difference."Read review »

Tea Forte Bombay Chai

52 Teas Butterscotch Chai

5.5/10 — 2 reviews

Erika's review:"Had I not known the chai was flavored with butterscotch, I would have simply assumed this was just another basic chai."Read review »

5/10

Vanessa's review:"All along, however, the main thing I focused on while drinking this tea was the distinct lack of butterscotch flavor; it was just barely there. I could detect it if I really, really, really concentrated, but in truth, if I had no knowledge of the name of this blend, I would have never guessed, not in a million years, that butterscotch was an ingredient."Read review »

Tea Spree Chai

5.5/10 — 2 reviews

Laura's review:" The cup is not without it's merits if you prefer to drink chai blends without any milk and don't like one that is very spicy. In fact, that is the crowd that I would recommend this blend to."Read review »

Teapigs Chai

5.3/10 — 3 reviews

Jennifer's review:"For those who are looking for a mild cinnamon flavored tea, this might work, but I expect a chai to hold a thick viscous flavor of spice that requires a shot of milk and sugar to accompany."Read review »

3/10

Kari's review:"There was a good Chai smell from the leaves. When I infused it, however, all I could smell was the cinnamon. When I tasted it I thought it was more of a cinnamon spiced tea, and would have rated it higher if it wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t a Chai."Read review »

6.5/10

Vanessa's review:"This tea was actually quite tasty, just like one expects Chai to be. The primary spicy tones were of cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon, laid over a rich malty Assam base."Read review »

6.5/10

Joshua Tree Unplugged

5/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"This does remind me of a subtle chai with a licorice twist. The anise/licorice component isn't too in your face while this is hot, but previous experience tells me that they will become more prevalent as the cup cools."Read review »

TeaFrog Masala Chai II

Shaiha's review:"Very light chai that doesn't hold up well to the addition of sweetener or milk. Great for people that prefer their Chai black."Read review »

4.8/10

Steenbergs Organic Green Chai Spiced

4.3/10 — 3 reviews

Patty's review:"What I really like about this blend is the balance of the mix; nothing fights for dominance, they just dance together in a blood-warming jig. I'm drinking it almost too fast to properly judge, but that says a lot in itself."Read review »

6.5/10

Laura's review:"I'm sure there are people out there that will drink this and not taste anything funny or will love it, but I am not one of them."Read review »

3.5/10

Cindy's review:"I enjoy a chai that has a strong spiciness that leaves no doubt as to its existence, but doesn't rely quite so heavily on one component."Read review »

Paisley Brand Tea Organic Chai

Alexa's review:"I wanted so very much to enjoy this tea since it’s convenient, organic, and fair trade. In the end I think I wouldn’t drink this particular tea again."Read review »

Joy’s Teaspoon Spicy Chai

4/10 — 1 review

Jamie's review:"This is a spicy chai that to me was too heavy on the clove and also seemed to need a better black tea pairing."Read review »

China Mist Chai

Lea's review:"This is another disappointing cup of chai... The tea is weak, and the aftertaste is entirely too strong and bitter."Read review »
